French America
 |
French America (French: Amérique française) is the French-speaking community of peoples and diaspora, notably those tracing back origins to New France, the early French colonization of the Americas. Quebec is the center of the community, but it may also include the rest of Canada, New Brunswick, New England, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, the mid-western states, Louisiana, California, New York and Florida in North America. Haiti, Martinique, and Guadeloupe in Central America; French Guiana and Argentina in South America. The Ordre des francophones d'Amériques is a decoration given in the name of the community to its members. It can also be described as the Francophonie of North America (the continent).
